What this video covers

James and Natalie, sailing the Abacos aboard their boat Zephyr, host James's brother for a week of spearfishing, snorkeling, and visiting the swimming pigs at No Name Cay.Watch The crew catches a mackerel while transiting Whale Cay Cut and cleans a large lobster tail using an antenna to remove the digestive tract. During the passage to Treasure Cay, the engine experiences intermittent hesitations. James identifies the cause as a clogged fuel pickup tube in the diesel tank, which is coated in a thick, tar-like substance from contaminated fuel. He removes the sender unit and cleans the intake screen with a wire brush to restore fuel flow. The crew later visits Hope Town and Man O' War Cay before returning to Marsh Harbour, The Bahamas, to drop off their guest.
